First Time Running 1/4 Mile - COBB Race Gas Map

I ran my car for the first time ever on the strip yesterday at FIXXFEST. For those of you that don't know, it is a German car event held every year in Bradenton, FL. It is about 90% VW amd Audi but there are a good number of BMW's that show every year.

I ran 5 times with my best time being my first. The slip looked like this:

I was supposed to get protuned for E50 by PTF this past week but @dzenno@ProTUNING Freakslooked at my logs and said my LPFP needed replaced. After my first run, I got a 2A2D code which I found to be a low pressure fuel code. I will be replacing the LPFP and getting protuned by PTF over the next week or two and hitting the strip again.

In all honesty, I expected to be in the low 12's but I obviously need to launch better to have a shot at that. I'm assuming the LPFP issue isn't helping times either. Thoughts?

Ethanol destroys the stock LPFP. It's at 72psi at stock boost, and barely able to keep up with a stage 2 tune, which is why we all get 2AAF codes. With ethanol, you run lean, so the LPFP already maxed out is put under even more stress.

I honestly do not believe Ethanol is harming our LPFP, yet. Its likely to cause damage over an extended period of time, but i believe most of the issues we are seeing are caused by;
1. OEM pumps that are already aged and beginning to degrade.
2. The in-tank fuel filter, aka Fuel pump Sock, getting clogged with all the $#@! that the ethanol is dislodging from the tank.

I dont see any reason why an OEM LPFP shouldn't be able to support ~E50.
